Calm a Crying Baby

Let's face it, caring for a baby is hard work. Your little bundle of joy might cry more than you ever expected. Listening to a crying baby can be frustrating, especially when it never seems to end. As a parent or caregiver, you have limited energy, patience and tolerance. It's common to feel overwhelmed, helpless and possibly even angry by the constant demands of the baby.   

The key is to plan ahead for what you will do when you become frustrated by a crying baby.

That's where we come in. Kohl's Department Stores, The Children's Hospital and The Kempe Center for the Prevention and Treatment of Child Abuse and Neglect and have partnered together to launch The Kohl's Shaken Baby Syndrome (SBS) Prevention Campaign in Colorado.

We believe that in order to dramatically impact this issue and reduce the incidence of SBS we must better educate our community about the dangers of shaking a baby, and offer coping skills for managing infant crying and the caregiver frustrations that often accompany it.  Child abuse can be prevented and this program is an important step in bringing about positive change.
